Come Get Down In The Garden

Welcome to Peace Garden Grappling Club. Located in South Fargo, PGGC was founded in 2022 with one goal in mind: bring high level submission grappling to the area without the formalities. We focus on realistic techniques based in American Jiu- Jitsu, Wrestling, and Judo. We offer top tier facilities and an environment that makes you want to train.

Class Schedule

Whether you prefer early mornings, noon sessions, evenings, or open mats, there’s a class that works for your routine. Take a look at what’s available.

Why The Garden?

High Level Instruction
Head Coach Baily Badillo sets the standard at PGGC. He works closely with our coaching staff to make sure what’s being taught is current, effective, and actually works in live training. We don’t chase trends—But we don’t teach outdates techniques either. Everything on the mat has a purpose

Culture
At The Garden we train hard, consistently, and with safety in mind especially for kids and beginners, but we don’t confuse “safe” with “soft”. Everyone is pushed at the right pace and respect is non-negotiable

Community
What really separates PGGC is the people. This isn’t a gym where everyone disappears as soon as class ends. Members train together, support each other and spend time together outside of the gym. Whether that’s helping a teammate prep for competition, watching fights on a Saturday night or just getting something to eat. If you walked through the door, chances are we already have more in common than you think.

Hands down PGGC has the best training environment and coaching staff you’re ever going to find. If you’re looking for a place to learn sport jiu jitsu, self defense, or just just trying to find an awesome community to be part of. Look no further, this is the place for you!

- Cory Bettenhausen

Never did I think I would have as much fun holding men as I did when I went to my first class. Out of breath, sweaty, dripping and glistening. Full body workout and the coaching staff is extremely helpful and patient. They understand the art/sport and have safety in mind. Last but not least, the community is amazing. Super friendly individuals looking to improve not just themselves but everyone around them.

- Nikola Todorovic

Such an awesome gym!! I recently started coming to PGGC and it has been an amazing experience. Everyone is welcoming, and so open to helping you learn. The instructors are outstanding and it’s just an awesome experience overall!

- Max Rotunno

I highly recommend Peace Garden Grappling Club, whether you are brand new to the sport like me, or have been training for years. I'm totally brand new to Jiu Jitsu, and everyone has been super welcoming and supportive of me as a newbie! Prof. Bailey and Coach Drew are phenomenal at breaking down the movements and providing a mix of constructive and encouraging feedback. Also, as a woman in this very male-dominated sport, I was a little intimidated to start training, but the guys at PGGC have been amazing at making me feel welcome and comfortable. Everyone I've met is friendly and willing to help with any questions I've had. Awesome culture, kickass coaches. 10/10 guys; keep it up!

- Callie Navarathne

Professor Baily puts more time into each student no matter how busy the mat is. His 1 on 1 teaching style is by far the best I’ve experienced. He knows his students and what they are good and bad at and works with each and everyone of them. The atmosphere is always supportive and welcoming. All 3 owners (Drew, Shehan, and Baily) are class act individuals who truly want you to succeed with whatever your goals may be.
